Clan Pacific 'Hengist'
The new-build 'Hengist' locomotive has oval buffers, tablet catcher brackets removed from the cab side, operational air braking installed and the footplate access doors fitted to the tender and not the locomotive. It is in pristine condition and equipped with AWS and speedometer. The distinctive sound of the Westinghouse air pump can be heard. We have included a set of configurable Southern region headcode discs and the Hengist's rear damper. In the cab are TPWS and OTMR panels although these are non-operational. The air brake system has its own set of gauges included.

ADVANCED ENGINE AND TENDER FEATURES
We have worked to replicate as far as possible the typical operations of a real steam locomotive. Fully replicating a realistic steam locomotive in Train Simulator is simply not possible, but we have added features which bring that dream closer to reality and give you a genuine feeling of what the real locomotive is like. We believe the Just Trains BR Standard Clan Class Advanced “Clan Class” gives you the most authentic experience to date of operating and driving a steam locomotive.
Unfortunately one of Train Simulator’s limitations is that you cannot start with a steam loco cold, i.e. without its fire lit, but with the Clan Class you have the opportunity to join the loco at the ‘warm’ stage where it is nearly ready to drive but still requires several operations to be carried out to ensure that it runs properly and efficiently, namely filling the sandboxes, cleaning out the dust and dirt from the smokebox, priming the oil system via the oil distributor pump, and blowing down the boiler to help remove impurities. These may not be a fully accurate set of operations with the engine warm, but they are the most authentic available to us for the reason stated.
Warm mode
You need to carry out the servicing operations before you can drive the locomotive. If you fail to do this, the performance of the locomotive WILL actually suffer.
If you fail to fill the sandboxes - turning on the sander will have no effect on improving wheel adhesion.
If you fail to clean out the smokebox - this results in a temporary performance problem, with a random degree of severity that will get worse if it is left un-cleaned.
If you fail to turn and thus prime the lubricator - this will slowly and permanently reduce the maximum performance of the locomotive to represent the damage being done.
Hot mode
All the operations which must be carried out in ‘Warm’ mode are already completed and you are ready to drive.
Steam chest
Realistic steam chest behaviour and tractive effort simulation, with a delay that varies depending on factors such as steam chest saturation and how open the regulator valves are.
Superheater valve
Simulated Malesco superheater header multiple valve, including a pilot valve and three main valves, all operated by turning the cams with the regulator handle via the external linkage.
Regulator ‘tapping’
Tap the regulator with the virtual palm of your hand to make finely incremented adjustments to its position.
Operating snifting/anti-vacuum valves
These protect the cylinders from damage when there is no passage of steam through the cylinders. Monitor the state of the snifter valves by listening out for the air hiss in time with the cylinder movement when they’re open and see the steam drift out when the pilot valve is open, or the blast of steam shooting sideways as the steam chest pressure rises and the snifter valves close.
Realistic reverser behaviour
The reverser lock is required to lock the reverser in place when the driver is not moving it, to prevent it from oscillating with the Walschaerts valve gear and creeping into forward gear.
Realistic brake simulation
With vacuum brakes that take longer to apply or release the longer the train is, simulated diffusion of air into and out of the train pipe is modelled, as well as locomotive and tender steam brake that can be applied by controlling the vacuum brakes and vacuum reservoir or by directly using the graduated steam brake handle.
Authentic air brakes
Operational on the Hengist only. Also included is an authentic-sounding Westinghouse air compressor to supply the required air.
ActivScript AWS (Automatic Warning System)
Acknowledge the horn by pressing the reset lever. If you press the reset lever when the horn is not sounding, it will apply the brakes. If you fail to press the reset lever about 2.5s after the horn started to sound, the brakes will start to apply, but you can still press the reset lever to cancel the automatic application.
ActivScript wheel animation, wheelslip and wheelskid
ActivScript programming simulates and correctly renders the wheel animation. The driving wheels will accelerate with wheelslip, decelerate to a halt during wheelskid (when the steam brake is applied harshly) and turn in the opposite direction of travel if the reverser is wound back into the opposite gear.
Wheelslip and wheelskid sparks in both directions
As you melt the driving wheel tyres, see the flashes and sparks increase in intensity with the increase in temperature, and increase with velocity the faster the wheels turn.
Chuff sounds and exhaust effects
These are always synchronised with the wheels, even during wheelslip and wheelskid.
Weather and seasons have a direct effect on adhesion
You could be driving up a steep gradient perfectly well in dry weather, but if the heavens suddenly open with rain, sleet, hail or snow you can soon find yourself in a whole heap of trouble as precipitation begins to build up on the rails.
Realistic water levels and gauges
See the photorealistic water level rise and fall with gradients, whilst also sloshing back and forth with acceleration and deceleration and oscillating as the water in the boiler boils over. See how the water reverses the chevrons on the gauge glass backplate by refraction.
Priming
A consequence of the water level being high enough at the dome that water is able to enter the internal steam pipe system and, ultimately, the cylinders. Flush the cylinders with the cylinder cocks to ensure that the water does not cause a devastating explosion in one of the cylinders.
Regulator jamming
A result of water pushing through the regulator valves during priming, making it difficult to close the regulator.
Permanent damage
Also solvable performance suppressions, including superheater cracking, wear induced by lack of lubrication, build-up of ash in the smokebox and fatal disasters including cylinder explosion due to too much water in the cylinders and loss of connecting rods when wheelslip goes out of control.
Directional sanders
These have a limited supply of sand in the sandboxes. Stop and refill the sandboxes at any time you wish.
Realistic dampers and fire temperature control
Use both the main damper wheel to control the main air stream through the fire bed and the fire doors to control the secondary air through the fire-hole in the cab.
Intelligent and advanced firing
'Lumps' of coal are thrown into the fire instead of a steady stream. Closing the firedoors automatically turns off the firing control. Photorealistic fire glow flickering effects are included.
Davies & Metcalfe exhaust injector
Use exhaust steam from the cylinders, or automatically switch over to live steam from the boiler when the steam chest pressure is very low.
Tender controls
Click on the Bardic lamp for light in the cab when it gets dark, turn the handbrake and open the coal doors to view the coal.
Working tender water gauge
Keep an eye on the water level remaining in the tender tank.
Warm and Hot mode options
Prepare your loco in Warm mode by opening the smokebox door to clear out the ash, prime the lubricators, fill the sandboxes and conduct the boiler blowdown to blow out the impurities in the water. Alternatively, start off in Hot mode where all of these tasks have been completed and you’re ready to go.
Locomotive disposal at the end of a hard shift
Clean out that smokebox ready for the loco’s next turn of duty, blow the boiler down, then open the ash pan doors and empty the firebox with the rocking grate.
Steam heat control
Keep your passengers on board the Just Trains Mk1 coaches nice and toasty during the winter season and see the steam leaking out of the carriage steam heat pressure relief valves - and sometimes shoddy piping!
Intelligent communication between a growing number of Just Trains locomotives
couple one or more Clans together, or double-head with a Just Trains 4MT Advanced, for synchronised cylinder drain cocks control, regulator and to whistle communication with a little toot!
Advanced and photorealistic 'next-generation' smoke and steam effects
More accurate effects than ever before! See the main smoke stack change density and velocity with the change in blast-pipe pressure, change colour with stoking and the change in firemass. Use the colour of the smoke to determine the temperature of the fire – lots of black smoke indicates more coal being thrown into the firebox than the fire can burn! See the steam leaks from the safety valves and chime whistle flutter with the air flowing past the loco at speed. Notice the steam emissions from the cylinders in time with the movement of the motion. Beware of the water droplets blasting out of the cylinder cocks and chimney, indicating a serious case of priming!
Highly realistic and detailed external animations
Regulator linkage, loco brake linkage, sandbox lids, smokebox door, cab side windows, cab sliding roof hatches and realistically moving mechanical lubricators.
Fully customisable headcodes
You can preselect the desired headcode for both the player and AI locomotives in the Scenario Editor.
Southern Region selectable headcode discs (Hengist only)
Southern Region used a unique set of headcode disc layouts to indicate the destination of the train. We have included 15 of the most commonly used routes that can be configured on the Hengist.
Visible raindrops
These appear on the windows of the exterior model.
Leaking cylinder cock scenario trigger
Place the special On/Off triggers in your scenarios to simulate a leaking cylinder cock which will have an effect on the performance of the locomotive!
